BACKG RO U N D/J USTI FI CATI O N :
The City is currently undergoing a recruitment effort for the Accountant position, as that position became
vacant as of October 18, 2017. During this recruitment effort, the duties of the Accountant position will
mostly be completed by the Finance Director, with the exception of the accounts payable function.
Utility Billing will be assigned these duties as she has experience completing these duties. This function will
add a significant workload to her day-to-day functions and in accordance with the City's personnel policy
merits an acting designation.
My recommendation is that an acting pay rate adjustment is approved at Pay Grade 10, Step 1, which is the
starting pay rate for the Accountant position. If approved, this pay rate adjustment would become effective
October 30, 2017 and conclude with the completion of accounts payable training for the next Accountant.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:
• None
POSSIBLE MOTION
PLEASE WORD MOTION AS YOU WOULD LIKE IT TO APPEAR IN THE MINUTES:
Motion to approve an acting pay rate adjustment for the Utility Billing position to Pay Grade 10, Step 1 of
the City's approved pay plan, effective October 30, 2017.
